VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
 

It is through the COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROCESS that United Way of Illinois Valley mobilizes a network of human service care providers and community members who work together to identify and meet critical needs within our community.  Essentially, United Way serves as a conduit in coordinating this process.  This is your community.  These are your funds.  You determine what the greatest needs are.  You determine how the funds are to be spent.

Community members want to be sure that their contributions are going to programs that are working to address the greatest needs in their community.  United Way of Illinois Valley staff and board members provide the tools, training and structure necessary to help the process run smoothly.  The COMMUNITY INVESTMENT COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS do the rest.

We are looking for 25 to 30 people to volunteer for this process.   As a volunteer you would be asked to attend an orientation meeting, an agency site visit and sit with your assigned panel for a meeting.  The volunteer will be assigned a liason to do their site visit with.  You will be asked to review the agency application prior to the visit and ask any applicable questions on your visit.    As a volunteer you will assist your liason in the panel discussions to share details of the site visit experience, sharing observations and recommendations with panel members.
